The Bioarchaeology Of Violence by Roger L. Martin
This volume synthesizes case studies of skeletal remains to explore how violence is inscribed on the body and what those traces reveal about past societies. Moving beyond simple counts of injuries, it examines warfare, captivity, sacrifice, abuse, and structural violence, linking trauma patterns to gender, status, identity, and environment. Integrating osteological analysis with ethnographic, historical, and taphonomic perspectives, it highlights the variability, scale, and social meanings of aggression across time and place while addressing methodological and ethical challenges in interpreting embodied harm.
